Winemaking
Château Palais Cardinal’s La Fuie Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2019 is a standout red that’s long on satisfaction and pleasure without skimping on talent. Not only does it come from historic terroir that produces fantastic red wine grapes, but it also enlists the cellar talents of one of Bordeaux’s most in-demand innovators: Oenoteam’s Thomas Duclos, who works with some of the most important properties in Saint-Emilion.
